The Fishmongers and a Grocer

Couple more from my visit to SF's Chinatown a couple of weeks ago.

Both Canon F1 and FD28mm lens with Tri-X.

Nice one, Brian. Love the Chinatown fishmongers!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Ooh, can smell the fish from here....

Thanks Alfie and Dan!

I love that expression in #2 Brian - do you think he spotted you?

No Chris. (It's a she by the way.) I was walking among a crowd along the sidewalk and she appeared through a gap and I just snapped the pic from the low angle. She did not spot me. Thank you by the way.

Now that's what you call a fishmongers!! I wonder what happened to the stone carvers? Despite te weird angle that second shot works really well. If you hadn't given it a title it would be quite full of intrigue.

Good observation regarding the stone carver, Pete. Like other Chinatowns, the one in SF has buidlings that are warrens of shops. I think the stone carver is in another unit--1135 #15 perhaps--of that building. But I too wondered about that. Thanks for you comments about the second shot Pete. I like it too--despite the wierd angle. I think the look on the woman's face carries it. At least for me. Thanks again Pete!

Yes, I think you're right, it's the expression that does it.
